Wow. This is my third chapter today. Well, I hope you like!
Remember, again, I do not own the X-Men! And I can not take credit for them. Madison is mine though…seriously, I thought her and her power. One at least. So here we go!
The room at the boarding house, was in fact, clean. I dropped all of my things on the floor after porting there. I sighed, remembering Kitty trying to convince me to stay, and her sad eyes. Her words were equally as sad, her voice, her pleading…but I didn't belong there. I just didn't fit. I wasn't part of the puzzle that were the X-Men.
A banging at my door made me jump. "What?!" I called after throwing all of my clothes around to make myself feel at home. "I was only checking to see if you had come." Pietro called through my door. I yanked it open and smiled. "Yeah, I came." He smiled too, and looked past me, "You fit right in."
"Do you even have any food in this house?" I said gawking at the empty fridge. All they had was a gallon of milk and a tub of peanut butter. "No, we don't eat much." Toad said hopping out and snatching the peanut butter. "I can see. You're all do thin. Which does not go for Blob though. "Well, let me go and buy groceries." He looked up at me and smiled. "You have cash? So we can get food? Awesome! Lance! She has cash!"
"Is that such a deal? Who is the leader of your Brotherhood? They should give you money." He hopped away and I shook my head and went out to the living room. "You are all so lazy. Give me your keys. I need to go to town." Lance looked at me as if I were crazy. "Do you want food or what? Cause I can buy things for myself instead." He groaned and tossed me the keys.
At the store, I ran into-ugh-guess who? Kitty and Kurt shopping for the house. I walked past them, trying to ignore them, or at least avoid talking to them. "Madison!" Kitty called. I sighed and ran around the corner of the aisle and stood there to see if they would follow. They didn't, so I continued to shop. I bought snack foods and healthy foods, though I think I would be the only one to eat them. At checkout, it was $86.98 for a months worth of food. Kinda pathetic…this economy is so inflated it seems.
"Hey! Madison! Come here! Please let's talk!" Kitty called at me again, trying to communicate and suede me to come back. "Sorry Kitty, I have to get back." Kurt tried this time. "Madison, please zis iz stupid. You need to come back. Ze Brozzerhood iz no place for you. No place for a girl. It shouldn't even be open anymore. Ze professor vants to help you. You can fit in." I jumped in the Jeep and started it up. "I fit in fine with the Brotherhood. Thanks to you and the others, I ran out and met Pietro. Thanks." Kurt looked really hurt. I smiled and sped off. Back to where I did fit in.
"Holy shit! She hit the jackpot!" Toad called as I walked in the door with the bags of groceries. "Obviously you've never been to a grocery store. It's unlimited in there. Cool it though. Go put this stuff in the fridge and cupboards." He hopped away with the bags and I went to Lance and tossed him the keys. "It's fine rock tumbler," I assured him. I plopped down on the couch next to him and watched the music channel with him. He changed it every time a rap or pop video came on. 'Thanks' I thought each time. I absolutely hate anything but rock and punk. Metal is okay, I'm not as addicted to it as rock and punk though. I was goth enough for myself and I had one tattoo. Thanks again to Danny. It's between my shoulder blades. I got a crouching demon. It's body is gray and the head is bowed so that the hair blocks it's face. The wings folded back over it's back and the horns were just visible through its hair. I loved it. The only times it was visible was when I wore halter tops and mesh shirts.
"Hey rock tumbler, who runs the show for the Brotherhood?"
"Magneto. Pietro and Wanda's father. He's a hard ass most of the time, but at least we have the house. It used to be run by Mystique. She died though. After the whole Apocalypse thing. That Rogue girl at the X place pushed her off a cliff. So now Mags runs the show. He'll be bringing the Acolytes over soon, don't piss him off ok? He gets really, really pissy, like Wanda." I laughed, "Sure, I'll behave for Mr. Magneto."
"Seriously, he can get a real bad attitude. He could rip this house in half. Wanda too."
"Ok, ok. So what's the deal with Wanda? You keep mentioning her."
"She was put in a nuthouse when she was younger. Mags couldn't handle her. She hates his guts but puts up with him. She's really destructive. Her power is really freaky."
"What does it do?" He shrugged and smiled at me. "You'll see one day. It's hard to explain." I nodded and continued to watch television.
"Toad!!! Get the hell out of my room!!!" I heard a girl's voice rage from upstairs. I ran up there and saw Toad flat on his back, cowering. A girl in a red body suit, ripped her and there, stood over him. Her hands were glowing blue. "If you ever, ever come in here again, I swear to god, you'll wish you were never born!" she seethed through gritted teeth. I smiled down at Toad and he grinned "That's Wanda. That's my baby cakes."
Wanda groaned and looked at me. "Who the hell are you?" she asked, still fuming. "You know, it's funny, your brother was asking me the same exact thing this afternoon-"
"I don't give a flying fuck about my bastard brother. Now who are you?!"
"Whoa, chill pill Wanda. I'm the newest part of the Brotherhood. Nice to meet you." She turned and went into her room, slamming the door behind her. "She's nice," I grinned.
Toad got up and smiled too, "I know."
Well it's ten now. Time for me to go to bed. I'm normally not tired until eleven or twelve, but today's events, well they were eventful and tiresome. So I went up to my room, checked that it was empty, and changed. A knock at my door again. "Come in," I said plopping on my bed. I was pulling my hair up as Pietro came in. "Hey Pietro. What's going on?" He shrugged and sat on my armchair. "My father's here. You should meet him." Ooh…time to have some fun with Mr. Magneto.
Ok, that's all for now. It was kinda long. But this is my third chapter today. Hope you all enjoy all of these so far. I'm not seeing many reviews. Please do that for me!!! THANKS!
